Free droplet vaporization experiments with SRC II middle distillate fuel continued. Experiments were cnducted in the temperature range 1000 to 1300/sup 0/C. Light pyrolysis products, including acetylene, accounted for 1 to 5% of the fuel mass. Low levels of substituted 3-ring aromatics reaction products were detected. A retention index system based upon polycyclic aromatic standards has been adopted as a primary means of identification. A new impulse-type injector was developed which is more versatile than a vibrating capillary and operates at lower fuel feed rates.
